BattleFrame Weapons Posted


Pictures appear to be in queue for release. Does anyone else think the Colossus 100mms and Peregrine Rocket Pods got switched around? Somebody might wanna ask.

NTU siphon certainly seems interesting, particularly with the ability to emit an EMP blast. Wonder if that's a shockwave or beam.

Odd that the Peregrine is the one to get the rocket pack, when I thought we'd even seen the Colossus on the test server firing the thing. A 75mm versus the AV-machine guns also seems like a case of empire flavor going the wrong way, and I *definitely* find it problematic that the NC are the only ones getting 2 non-arc gunner weapons. Hell, it sounds like every TR weapon except the heavy Burster is gonna have arcing fire, which screws your accuracy at range.

I did see the Colossus on test with the double guns, which I would assume are the 100mm, now called 105mm. But we also saw the Colossus with the rocket pods, and the screenshots have all had them. Meanwhile, I didn't get to see any of the heavy weapons for the Peregrine, though I knew a particle cannon was one of them. Possibilities are either Spork got them mixed up, or they switched them. Definitely should be asked.

What do we get that's new? A Mortar. Great. So we have to sit half an island away from the fight just to be able to hit anything? (I doubt it, but still... a mortar...??) And to trump that the VS get a plasma mortar, so we get the old stuff again. *sigh*

After the mobilization alpha thing I read some people saying that the rocket pods were axed from the colossus design. Which is probably why they aren't mentioned in the BFR weapons article for the TR. I guess they gave it to the NC instead.


Throwing in another "TR gets screwed" for good measure. Disappointing that we won't have any new weaponry. Also not good that we will have no zero fire arc weapons apart from the 30mm. The colossus will probably be a very easy kill for enemy BFRs given its slow speed, large size, and their ability to fire totally straight firing weapons from a long distance at it. However, I will say that from what I recall, the tank defense cannon actually has a pretty slight arc of fire. I really thought that the thing was a totally straight firing weapon before I read this article. So maybe there's hope yet.

Also, I find it amusing that these things will have MAX AA weapons. It seems their intent is to balance air power by piling on the AA until there's no realistic way to survive as a pilot. I bet an aphelion with dual starfire guns will rack up the aircraft kills.

The NC say they're screwed because they have a walking cardboard box, the TR say they're screwed because their weaponary sounds the same as other weapons and I'm sure the VS will find something to moan about

It's pathetic tbh.

Air Cav set the stage for one-man asskicker vehicles which detract from teamplay. The developers are just follow suit. However, it does look like the strongest weapons will be found on the gunner spots, so a BFR without a gunner will not be as strong as one with a gunner, probably by a large margin.

I dunno, I think BFRs are going to draw a LOT of fire and combining that with the requirements and restrictions I don't think they're going to be that bad on the overall balance of the game.

BFRs are ownage magnets and I dont have any reason to believe they are going to cause any real trouble on the battlefield. I figure they will do about like a tank does currently, but get totally pwned 10x faster

They'll be about 10x as common as tanks, so it should even out quite nicely.
